New robots can be added to your project from your PC or from RoboDK’s online library.

Follow these steps to choose a robot from the online library:

1. Select File➔ Getting Started - Image 6 Open online library (Ctrl+Shift+O). A new nested window will appear showing the online library
It is also possible to select the corresponding button in the toolbar. Getting Started - Image 7

2. Use the filters to find your robot by brand, payload, ...
In this example, we will use a UR10 robot (10 kg payload robot and 1.3 m reach).

3. Select Download. The robot should automatically appear in the station in a few seconds.

4. The online library can be closed once the robot is loaded

Tip: Selecting reset filter in the online library will remove any filter that was used.

Tip: Alternatively, it is also possible to download the robot files (.robot extension) separately, from the website: https://robodk.com/library and open them in RoboDK by drag & dropping the file to the main window or by selecting File➔Open.

Note: Every time a new robot is loaded in RoboDK, a new reference frame is added representing the robot base frame.

Note: Loading robots from the online library will store them in the local library. The default location of this example project is: C:/RoboDK/Library/Tutorial-UR-Painting.rdk.
